★★★☆☆ 3.0 Cas · May 2024

Food was good not outstanding but good. A 1/4 sandwich and cup of soup and a water times 2 for $35 dollars was ridiculous. It appeared clean and cashier was friendly. I’ve never been in there and was given a $25 gift card. I thought I’d treat a friend. I was shocked that my gift card did not cover the meals.

Ryan the manager was the only reason I returned. I had a bad experience before with my food and he provided great customer experience and he is the only reason I came back. I love paneras food and will continue to come back as lomg as he is running the show. He knows what he's doing!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kyle Jones · Jul 2025

Staff are very friendly, food is fresh and service is fast! The atmosphere is cozier than other locations with many private booths to choose from. I always make this location my go-to for a quick lunch. They always ensure to follow special requests and double check orders as well!

I have been coming to Panera for a while now more often now that I’m in the area and have had no good experiences, I’m huge on not picking at small things because I work in retail and understand people make mistakes. It’s been constant and super inconvenient and it is a problem that should be addressed especially when it comes to us spending money. There’s been times I’ve ordered coffee and it’s ALWAYS wrong left it alone and just eventually STOPPED buying coffee from Panera and just drive to dunkin for me and my co workers. SANDWICHES burnt or incorrect ingredients (haven’t found a way to report through the app) but most of all me the customer who’s coming to pick up orders constantly having to walk back and forth from the front desk to the pick up booth because of missing items in this c

They have lost my business. This was a place where I’d go to enjoy a quick bite every so often. I went tonight and I ordered my favorite thing which is a chicken frontega sandwich. The cashier says that they don’t have chicken so I said okay, I’ll take an apple Fuji salad (my second favorite there) and the cashier says that they don’t have romaine lettuce. I said “did you guys not get a food order or something?” (I worked at subway and know you need to have enough food always), and the cashier was rude and ignored me. I said well those are the only two things I like and tried to look at the menu but nothing caught my eye. I walked out but the cashier saw me. I wasted a trip and very rude customer service. Avoid this Panera at all costs!
